Darkcoin's masternodes is a centralization risk. Masternodes run on servers, servers are centralized, meaning masternodes are centralized and are a risk to the network. Even if masternodes are kept offline, there's an even higher chance of losing the masternode due to human error, accident, etc.
You actually make zero sense. Welcome to the growing ignore list. Yea, it doesn't make any sense to say that hosting a node on a centralized server, means that node is now centralized as well? Don't quit your day job.

A server is simply a computer. By that logic, every bitcoin wallet is running on a centralized machine.

The majority of nodes for Bitcoin, which is the most popular cryptocurrency in existence, are not run on a Raspberry PI. #logic

There's a huge difference. Let's take for example multibit, that wallet serves no purpose other than a way for the owner to easily access their Bitcoins. It does not uphold the network and plays no role in centralization/decentralization. Therefore, you cannot compare such a wallet to a masternode(which supplies "anonymity") that's run on a centralized server.

1st time on LTB Woop Woop I've had to listen to this twice! It is so full of incredible richness and multiple new ideas (like transaction abbreviation <--- this alone is of enormous importance and dramatic crypto revolution!). Absolutely brilliant! Have it on my phone now as I need to listen to it a few more times there's so much in this. Great work Evan! (PS - I really appreciate your very clear voice Evan; it's so easy to listen to)

However, Bitcoin in comparison is like an angel since it's basic parameters(Block reward, Max coin supply) has not been changed or cut, unlike Darkcoin's. Arguably, that's one of the defining points of a decentralized cryptocurrency, satoshi himself stated, " The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime." Decentralization is all about general "equality", if a developer is left to make all the changes as he/she sees fit, it's not decentralized(and especially if they did so from the beginning like Darkcoin's), it never was decentralized and never will be.

Trace just one darksend transaction and prove yourself. Hell I think there's even a bounty out there for this.......

So the lead dev has a private key which lets him control all the MasterNodes? Why does he need to control all MasterNodes? In the future, will he be in control or is this just temporary and if so how long will this continue?
No, he does not. There is a private key for engaging the spork but that's it. This allows us to prevent forks for the time being while bugs are getting troubleshooted on mainnet when new features get rolled out. LOL, so now the spork trigger is being fudded as a key to control masternodes? 1. The code for the spork trigger, which is used to keep the network from fragmenting while DRK/DASH is under heavy construction, is all in the open code, and you can see there that it does nothing but enable/disable enforcement of minimum wallet version, at least that's how I understand it, correct me if I'm wrong.-- and the previous wallet will have min. wallet enforcement from before so that a network manipulator will still be limited to how old a wallet he can use. The rest of the network will still reject bad actors. 2. This does NOT give anyone any control over any masternode, except it's owner. 3. It might continue to stay in place for some time because we're still improving the technology and it makes hard forks less risky, and the risk to the network is virtually nothing other than possibly causing masternodes to miss out on payments. This is a risk we understand, but it can not be avoided when introducing new or upgraded technology. And this very new technology is what gives DASH it's value.
